Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1117 Evil
"Tell me, how did the investigation go?"

There was a laugh outside the door.

"Mr. Cui is so arrogant. My Jin Yiwei came to visit, but he didn't even open the door?"

Cui Junchuo was shocked when he heard Jin Yiwei's name.

I thought it was someone from the mansion reporting the news, but unexpectedly it was Jin Yiwei who came to the door.

He quickly calmed down, said he had misunderstood, then got off the bed, put on his shoes, and walked over to open the door.

Outside the door, a Jinyiwei officer in a flying fish robe stood there with a smile, "Cui Gong!"

Cui Junchuo knew that those who could wear flying fish suits were high-ranking generals, and in the entire Jinyiwei, there were no more than ten people who could wear flying fish suits.

In addition to the commander of Jin Yiwei, there are the deputy envoys and five commanders below.

The commanding envoy of the Jinyiwei Dudu is located in Luoyang, and the other five governors are divided into the other five capitals. The one who guards Chang'an is naturally the Right Dudu Fang Yanzao.This is the Fang family of Qi County, the uncle of Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the current dynasty. He was originally a county captain of Songcheng in his early years, but he defected to Emperor Luo Cheng very early, even earlier than Fang Xuanling, so he is now a marquis , the official is the right governor of Jinyiwei, who sits in Chang'an and is bestowed with flying fish robes and embroidered spring knives.

Seeing this, Cui Junchuo felt terrified.

"If Fang Dudu has something to do, he can just send someone to call him. There is no need to come in person."

Although Fang Yanzao was born as a literati, he has been in the army for many years, but he is as willful as a soldier.After he entered the room, he sat directly in front of the desk, and unceremoniously scooped himself a bowl of tea.

"The tea is already cold. If the governor wants to drink tea, the old man will cook another pot for the governor."

"It's okay, I'm not here for tea either."

Fang Yanzao took a sip of tea, stroking the purple sand teacup with his fingers, and slowly said, "I also go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Cui Gong must be well aware of my coming here. Cui Cong, the treasurer of Fumanlou in Chang'an East City , made an appointment to trade the secret recipe with retired servant Zhang Tieqiang and his son, negotiated [-] guan, but only paid [-] guan, saying that Zhang Chao, the son of Zhang Tieqiang, would pick it up with him, but when he arrived at Fumanlou, he knocked him unconscious , tied them up and prepared to throw them into the Weihe River after dark. Zhang Tieqiang felt something was wrong, so he came to ask, but Cui Cong ordered someone to do it, and wanted to tie up Zhang Tieqiang too. Fortunately, Zhang Tieqiang, a veteran, was very skilled. After I came out, I went to the Chang'an government office to beat drums and report my grievances..."

"Cui Cong is just the shopkeeper of a restaurant, but Fumanlou is owned by Chang'an Gong Cao Cui Shanfu. This Cui Shanfu is the son of Cui Gong's brother, right?"

Cui Junchuo was already sweating.

I thought it was just a little trouble, but now that Jin Yiwei's right governor is here, it shows that things are not simple.

Could it be that, after all, he could not escape the attack of the imperial court?But looking at the direction of the wind, hasn't it become less strict recently?
After the last round of attacks on the old gentry and old nobles, the imperial court has stopped chasing and beating them. What is going on now?

"If there is such a thing, it must be because of the audacity of Cui Cong's little maidservant's bastard, and he did it himself." Cui Junchuo hastily defended.

Fang Yanzao chuckled lightly.

"Mr. Cui, you are from a noble family. I was born in the Fang family of Qi County. I can't compare with you Qinghe Cui, but I can be regarded as a local fame. In my early years, I also studied hard. I also participated in the former imperial examination and won the Jinshi. But in the end, it was nothing more than conferring a county lieutenant, and his talents were not appreciated. Fortunately, he met the present day, and now he has a place to display his ambitions. Although most of them serve in the army, not everyone can be deceived."

"You said that Cui Cong acted recklessly in private, but Cui Cong is just a small restaurant manager. Without the support of you, Mrs. Cui, how would he dare to act recklessly like this?"

"Besides, I, Jin Yiwei, have always paid attention to evidence when I do things. Do you think I came here unprepared? Let me tell you, I have already sent people to investigate in detail, not just this case, but your case over the years. I've had someone investigate Cui's background."

"I don't know if I don't check it. I'm shocked when I check it. Your Cui family is really unclean. You don't talk about things before the founding of this dynasty. If you don't mention those old things, you only talk about things about this dynasty. It's only been a few years. But you have done a lot of shit. Tax evasion, forced buying and selling, and even smuggling, etc. There are really many. That Cui Cong and Fumanlou are places where filth is hidden. Cui Shanfu can To become a meritorious officer in Chang'an County, you have to pay bribes."

Fang Yanzao directly took out a booklet, and threw it in front of Cui Junchuo.

"Look carefully, this is only a small part. You, Cui, are the leader of the gentry, and you can do a lot of evil!"

Cui Junchuo picked it up and opened it.

The more I looked, the more shocked.

When it turned over to the back, it could no longer go down.

"There's more to come, keep watching."

Cui Junchuo didn't care about his age or his celebrity status, so he knelt down in front of Fang Yanzao.

"What is this for?"

"I also ask the governor to raise your hand. Cui is willing to honor the governor with half of his family's wealth. Please help the governor."

Although the current Cui family is not as good as in the early years, the emaciated camel is also bigger than the horse. As the Chang'an house among the eight branches of the Qinghe Cui family, even half of the family wealth is quite astonishing.

But Fang Yanzao just chuckled, and said humanely behind him, "Remember, Cui Junchuo blatantly bribed, and the amount was huge."

Cui Junchuo sat slumped on the ground.

His complexion was complicated and he looked panic-stricken, "Fang Gong, you and I are both nobles, please let our Cui clan go."

Fang Yanzao sneered.

"Cui Junchuo, you will kill yourself if you do many unrighteous actions. In the past few years, you have been very knowledgeable about current affairs, but this time, I'm sorry, someone is going to mess with you, and you are really not clean."

Cui Junchuo didn't know who he had offended.

"Captain, I really need to get to the bottom of it. Which family is really innocent and clean? Why do you want to keep an eye on our Cui family? Is it because we are the leaders of the Kanto gentry with five surnames and seven families?"

"The leader of the gentry? Hehe, that's all in the past. Now you should keep your tail between your legs and keep a low profile, but you still can't control your greed. How can you blame others for staring at you? Just remember, Even flies don't stare at seamless eggs."

Cui Junchuo trembled all over. He has experienced many storms and waves, but he never thought that he would capsize when he was old.

"Captain, if I, Cui Shanfu, and Cui Cong all committed suicide to apologize for my sins, will the Chang An Cui family be safe?"

Fang Yanzao shook his head, "One yard is one yard. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Cui Junchuo, you and Chang'an Cui Shi, get ready for trial!"

He stood up and said coldly, "Seize Cui's house and take everyone away!"

There was a foul smell, Fang Yanzao turned his head to look, and found Cui Junchuo slumped on the ground, with a puddle of water flowing out from under his clothes.

I can't help but cover my nose.

"Captain, Cui Junchuo seems to be suffering from the wind!"

Fang Yanzao turned his head in disgust, "Call a doctor."
